ROH's original TV champion, Eddie Edwards, is the new ROH World champion.

Edwards captured the ROH World Title from Roderick Strong at ROH's Saturday afternoon show in New York City, ending Strong's six-month title reign dating back to September 2010.

Edwards will now advance to face ROH TV champion Christopher Daniels at ROH's WrestleMania weekend show in Atlanta on April 1. Daniels captured the TV Title from Edwards in December 2010.

In the first hour following the title change, "Eddie Edwards" was Trending on Twitter in the U.S., capturing the sudden interest in the title change.

Caldwell's Analysis: Last week, we had a discussion on the PWTorch Livecast of ROH needing a spark with a new top star to build around on top, and Eddie Edwards's name came up with him looking more and more like a main-event player. Edwards as champ came earlier than I expected, but it's good to see ROH take a chance on Edwards to be the central focus of the promotion.

He hosted the weekly Pro Wrestling Focus radio show on KFAN in the early 1990s and hosted the Ultimate Insiders DVD series distributed in retail stories internationally in the mid-2000s including interviews filmed in Los Angeles with Vince Russo & Ed Ferrara and Matt & Jeff Hardy. He currently hosts the most listened to pro wrestling audio show in the world, (the PWTorch Livecast, top ranked in iTunes)
